Messaging Merriment

A text exchange between my brother and I today:

Me: There needs to be a black james bond
Joe: Yes only problem there aren't any black people named james*
Me: Uh ll cool j? fool
Joe: His name is cool james not james

*Some context: my brother is so disgusted by racism that he not only once quit a job because his boss told racist jokes, he literally WALKED OUT once he heard the guy doing it. Without saying a word or looking back.

James Brown?

Did you read those comments from the current James Bond? Is that what brought this text message exchange one?

OMG NO! So weird! We came up with the idea independently.

Some blog somewhere was making fun of Craig for saying that, basically calling him stupid because "James Bond isn't black." Or something. This might matter if Bond WASN'T A FICTIONAL CHARACTER WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN PLAYED BY NINE DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Got me all mad.
